In the title compound, C(23)H(15)ClFNOS, the isoquinoline system and the 4-chloro-3-fluoro-phenyl ring are aligned at 80.4 (1)°. The dihedral angle between the isoquinoline system and the pendant (unsubstituted) phenyl ring is 19.91 (1)°.

The title compound, C(17)H(14)N(2)O, crystallizes as a cis formamide isomer. The isoquinoline and benzene fragments are nearly perpendicular [dihedral angle = 81.79 (18)°], whereas the formamide group is virtually coplanar with the isoquinoline unit [dihedral angle = 1.66 (15)°]. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into a centrosymmetric dimer.

BACKGROUND Some isoquinoline alkaloids from Macleaya cordata (Willd). R. Br. (Bo Luo Hui) exhibited antibacterial, antiparasitic, antitumor, and analgesic effects. The targets of these isoquinoline alkaloids are undefined. This study aims to investigate the compound-target interaction network and potential pharmacological actions of isoquinoline alkaloids of M. cordata by reverse pharmacophore ...

garciniavalline (1), a novel aporphinoid alkaloid, in addition to four known alkaloids,cleistopholine (2), o-methylmoschatoline (3), (-)-oliveroline (4) and (-)-oliveridine (5), wereisolated and characterized from garcinia parvifolia miq. stem bark. structural elucidation ofthese compounds was established by spectroscopic methods. among them, alkaloids (2) and (4)exhibited antiplasmodial activi...

In the title isoquinoline-dione derivative, C(16)H(16)N(2)O(3)S, the piperidine ring in the tetra-hydro-isoquinoline ring system adopts a distorted envelope conformation. The thia-zole ring is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.004 (1) Å] and is inclined at a dihedral angle of 31.08 (3)° with respect to the mean plane through the tetra-hydro-isoquinoline ring system. In the crystal struc...

Axially chiral biaryls were synthesized by an isoquinoline or 2-pyridine-directed Rh(III)-catalyzed dual C-H cleavage and coupling with internal alkynes in good to excellent yields. Oxidation of isoquinoline derivatives with m-CPBA furnished their corresponding N-oxides, which could be utilized as Lewis base catalysts in asymmetric reactions.

Treatment of 1-(2-bromoarylmethyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines with oxalyl chloride and triethylamine gave 1-(2-bromophenyl)-5,6-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-2,3-dione derivatives, for example, 1-(2-bromophenyl)-5,6-dihydro-8,9-dimethoxypyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-2,3-dione. Radical cyclisation of these derivatives with tributyltin hydride and 1,1-azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile) afforded telis...

Pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives were synthesized by one-pot three-component reactions starting from isoquinoline, 2-bromoacetophenones and different non-symmetrical acetylenic dipolarophiles using 1,2-epoxypropane as solvent. The structure of the compounds was assigned by IR and NMR spectroscopy.

The isoquinoline alkaloids and their biosynthetic relatives include many compounds which show important physiological properties in animals: dopamine, mescaline, morphine, papaverine, and narcotine are pertinent examples. The biosynthetic routes to the members of this family start from the essential aminoacids tyiosine or phenflalanine. Decarboxylation gives a phenethylamine building block (C,-...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(2)(CH(3)COO)(4)(C(9)H(7)N)(2)], the Cu(II) cation is coordinated by four acetate anions and one isoquinoline mol-ecule in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry; the Cu(II) cation is 0.1681 (6) Å from the basal coordination plane formed by the four O atoms. Each acetate anion bridges two Cu(II) cations to form the centrosymmetric dinuclear comp...
